Anarchist Banker (2018, Guernica Editions, Incorporated) 3 stars

The story of The Anarchist Banker takes place in a Lisbon café where the narrator …

"The true evil, the unique evil are the conventions and social fictions that are superimposed upon natural realities—all of them, from the family to money, from religion to the state. A person born male or female—I mean born to be in adult life a man or woman—is not born by natural law to be a husband, nor to be rich or poor, nor is he born to be catholic or protestant, Portuguese or English. One is all of these things by virtue of the social fictions. Now why are these social fictions bad? Because they are fictions, because they are not natural. Money is just as bad as the state, the structure of the family just as bad as religion. If there were others besides these, they would be equally bad, because they would also be fictions, because they would also be superimposed upon and would hinder the natural realities."
